General Manager Yonkers, NY $90,000 – $110,000 / year
OVERVIEWA well-established affordable housing portfolio in Yonkers is looking for a General Manager to take full ownership of a 300+ unit property's day-to-day operations and regulatory compliance. This is a hands-on leadership seat — you'll run the budget, the team, and the books, and you'll be the one agencies and residents come to when something needs an answer.
This property runs on LIHTC, HUD Project-Based Section 8, tenant-based vouchers, and DHCR rent stabilization, so the ideal person already knows how those pieces fit together and isn't learning compliance on the job.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the property's financial performance — budget prep, monthly reporting, and keeping the numbers on track
- Run rent collections, including arrears tracking, payment plans, and non-payment/holdover proceedings when they're needed
- Keep the property audit-ready for HUD and LIHTC compliance, including REAC, MOR, ENSPIRE, and HQS inspections and file reviews
- Manage DHCR rent stabilization registrations and the annual statutory filings (lead-based paint, window guards, energy grades)
- Work daily in Yardi Voyager and RealPage to track occupancy, compliance, and financials
- Supervise and develop the on-site team, including the property manager, assistant property manager, and resident services staff
- Handle resident relations and step in before issues become bigger problems
- Build and maintain relationships with the agencies, inspectors, and vendors this property depends on
- Work alongside counsel on legal proceedings tied to non-payment or holdover cases
WHY YOU MATTERAffordable housing only works when someone's actually running it well. This role is that person — keeping residents housed, keeping the paperwork clean with every agency that has a say, and keeping the property financially sound. A few hundred families are counting on this property being run right.
WHAT IT TAKES
- 5+ years of supervisory-level property management experience in affordable housing
- Deep working knowledge of HUD Project-Based Section 8, LIHTC, and DHCR rent stabilization rules
- Direct experience with REAC, MOR, ENSPIRE, and HQS inspections and file reviews
- Comfort with non-payment and holdover proceedings, including working with attorneys when a case needs to go further
- Proficiency in Yardi Voyager and/or RealPage
- Strong budget and financial reporting skills — comfortable owning a P&L, not just reading one
- Certified Occupancy Specialist (COS) or a similar compliance certification preferred
- Bachelor's degree preferred
- Bilingual Spanish/English is a plus
